First Post…and Welcome to the Lounge!

by Kevin | Jan 31, 2011 | General Stuff, Just Because…, The Principal's Lounge | 0 comments

Ok, I am just about ready to put up my first post. I must admit I am nervous to start this thing called “blogging” but I have been told to just “dive in” because I would be surprised at how many people want to talk about the things I will be blogging about.

Before I begin, I have some thanks.

First to Michael Smith and his PrincipalsPage.com blog. You can find the link to his page under the contact link above or in the list of blogs that may interest you on the right column of the page. I can’t thank him enough for answering all my many questions (some at some REALLY late hours…do we ever sleep?) and his good advice on blogging. He even answered one of my questions in his blog. Nice.

Second, to my friend Tasia (no, I won’t throw her last name out there in blogworld) who after I told her what I was thinking about doing helped (ok, came up with) create the name for the site. Great minds do think alike. Hope you enjoy what you helped bring into existence!

Third, my dad who convinced me to blog. I’m not sure he (or I) knows what he has got me into. 🙂

Lastly, to all my friends in the “Friday Club” at McCormick & Schmick’s who were very supportive of the idea and are excited to see it come to life and read what I have to say. To Kim, Phil, Norm, John, Jim, Kyle, Kathy, Frank, Julie, Tasia, Jennifer, Sam “The Man” (from Tin Fish), and any others who have traveled in our little but ever-growing circle, I love you all and know that YOU ARE THE BEST!! Thanks for all your love and support. Knowing all of you since we met has enhanced my life in ways I can’t imagine or put into words. You all are the best friends a person could ever have.

So everyone, get ready. I hope you will enjoy reading my musings and give me yours. I have one more addition (which probably won’t be the end…these things tend to take on a life of their own) to this site before I fully launch it and release it out to sea (so to speak), so get ready and I will talk to you soon!

What do we talk about in the lounge?

Here in the lounge we will talk about things pertinent in education. Of course we all want our children to succeed and have many ideas to share about that. However, there are those many times where peers, cut from the same cloth, must reach out to one another and talk about what is on our minds. Feel free to offer conversations to the lounge, or just sit back and join in any discussion you like.

Now, from time to time, I will talk about one of my other three passions. Wine (and wine and cheese. Yum!), Food, and most of all, Golf. We all need a release (stress release) and those are certainly mine. Hope you enjoy them too or introduce me to some of yours. So sit back, relax, grab a glass of wine and let’s engage in good conversation. You never know, I may discover a new avocation as you may discover something new to try!

In sickness and in health

I must admit I am not much of a religious person in the belief that the world will come to an end soon at the hands of some worldwide plague. I do however know one thing. If the world were to come to an end from an apocalyptic plague, it won’t be in the form of some...

Catch me if you can

I will be turning 43 years old this year. One more year gone and another year wiser. Of the many duties we administrators are charged with, the one that probably takes up the majority of our time and energy is to maintain discipline among the student body and keep the...
